Zusammenfassung:An intermediate shaft assembly and a method of assembly thereof are provided. The intermediate shaft assembly includes a first shaft extending between a first end and a second end. The first shaft has a tubular wall portion with an inner surface bounding a hollow bore extending into the first end. The inner surface has a plurality of female splines and the tubular wall portion has at least one through opening. A second shaft extends between a coupling end and a connection end. The connection end has an outer surface sized for a clearance fit within the hollow bore. The outer surface has a plurality of male splines configured for an interdigitated fit with the female splines. The interdigitated fit establishes a clearance gap between the male splines and the female spines. A polymeric material at least partially fills the clearance gap and extends into the at least one through opening. 提供了一种中间轴组件及其组装方法。中间轴组件包括在第一端和第二端之间延伸的第一轴。第一轴具有管状壁部,该管状壁部的内表面界定了延伸到所述第一端的中空孔。内表面具有多个母花键,并且管状壁部具有至少一个通孔。第二轴在联接端和连接端之间延伸。连接端具有外表面
